01x09 - It's Like a Class Full of People Who Only Want to Save Themselves

[bunniefuu]

[curious music]

[footsteps]

[portal warbles]

Aoi.

[Aoi] This is all because

you summoned that monster here!

This is the end of the world!

Um.

[Aoi] The whole world!

I didn't ask to

be involved

Dammit

He's not at all human!

[voice echoing]

Not even a living thing.

[Aoi's knife] She's been

like this for a while.

I figured there'd be a

change if you were here, but

[Sion] So this is what happened

when she encountered

Yogiri Takatou.

Did you happen to learn

anything about him on your own?

This is intel from Sage

candidate Daimon Hanakawa.

[Hanakawa grunts]

I'm positive if I tell

you about him,

you'll immediately k*ll me!

Though he looks like a pure

and childlike young man,

he'll easily k*ll and then

say, "Oh wow, that's strange.

Didn't know I could

k*ll someone like this.

Good to know."

Like it's absolutely nothing!

What happened to

that idiotic look

of utter desperation

written all over your face

that said you would do

absolutely anything to survive?

You happened to

notice that, did you?

I cannot believe it's

possible to k*ll someone

just by wishing to do so.

[Hanakawa] But!

I understand.

k*lling that Yogiri Takatou

guy is top priority for me.

How can you, though?

I'm able to get

help from someone

that's even stronger

than Master.

[Hanakawa] What is that?

[Lute] The key to the seal.

[Hanakawa] What are

you talking about?

Master's younger sister.

Her acts were sometimes

overly chaotic.

So when Master had the

chance, she was sealed away.

If that sort of person exists,

then I suspect you

won't need me.

[Hanakawa groans]

Not so fast. I don't know

this Takatou guy very well,

and that's why I have to

have you along with me.

No, well, it would be

super embarrassing

if someone saw us and

thought we were together!

In that case, I can

cast a recognition block.

Uh? Please increase our

friendship level before that!

No! Stop pulling!

I mean, what even is this?

Just as I was used to doing

the bidding of some tomboy,

I'm stuck being a sl*ve

to a shota?

Or is this one of those

twists where you'll say,

actually I'm a girl

or something?

In that case, I might

be on board with that!

[opening theme]

[king] If you can traverse

the underworld beneath us

and defeat the Dark God,

the Sages have said it will

be quite an achievement,

but I happen to believe that

you all lack what is necessary.

However, this is our

pact with the Sages.

At the very least,

we'll prepare a base.

Also, remember this:

The royal family has the ability

to cause the Gift to weaken.

Oh, and your fingers

should reattach eventually.

[dramatic music]

[students murmuring]

What now?

Hey!

[Jiyuna] How is she here?

[Romiko] Tomochii! You're alive!

[student 1] Tomo!

[student 2] Dannoura!

Someone acknowledge

Takatou here as well!

[Romiko] We were all

so worried about you!

[Jiyuna] We sure were!

[train horn blares]

[dramatic music]

[Divine King] It never

used to be this big.

Welcome back, Your Highness.

It is a great honor.

I am Holaris, the

archbishop of this church.

Allow me to serve you.

Honestly, my first thought

was just to go home,

but everything has changed

here, and I'm a little unsure.

[Holaris] I understand.

This way.

We are all overjoyed at

your return to the palace.

However, we thought

Your Highness

might still be suppressing

the Dark God in the Canyon.

The Dark God in

the canyon is dead.

In that case, what about

the sealing key then?

What is the sealing key?

It doesn't seem as if

you are feigning ignorance.

[item hums]

[Divine King gasps]

[Yazaki] The decision

to leave you guys behind

wasn't wrong, I don't think.

[Yogiri] I don't really care.

To be honest,

I'm upset about it,

but complaining now

will just irritate me.

Or are you saying it's bad

that we're here in the capital?

Both really.

[Sora] Well, since

we have so few allies

in this other world,

shouldn't we be helping each

other out as much as possible?

- Who's

- Miss Sora Akino.

She's a famous idol at

school and entertainment.

But I'm not sure if

we can trust them.

Well, yes. But that's

because if you went through

what they did,

you are the type of person

who would undoubtedly

seek revenge upon those

- who had left you for dead.

- Hm.

I thought you said

Yazaki was the leader.

Pretty sure he was.

[upbeat music]

[Yuugo] How's it fair the girls

can move around both floors

when us boys are banned

from the second floor?

Hey, Yuugo, he's acting like

he doesn't know who we are.

[Yogiri] Not acting.

Who are you guys?

Are you serious?

I used to talk to you all the

time back in the other world.

You always looked like you

were half asleep in class.

We're fellow class losers.

Nice to meet you.

Except we don't know

if he's actually a loser.

[Yuugo] But Takatou's

class is an insect hunter.

You can only k*ll bugs, right?

Yeah, what are

your abilities then?

You are looking at

someone in Cook class.

And I'm a Reader.

I can read any kind

of given text.

[knock on door]

Hm?

Who's that?

Oh, it's Fukai.

Takatou, can I talk

to you for a sec?

Huh, what the hell

is an "Eroge Master"?

Can you lean in any further?

It's a class name.

Eroge Master Shinya Ushio.

Eroge Meister Keiichi Munakata.

Eroge Maniac Mitsuo Yatate.

The three of them together

like that

are called the

Three Eroge Nobles.

[depressing stinger]

[Tomochika] And?

And each of their Gift abilities

seem to be a reflection

of their unique characters.

So what are they?

Ushio can stop time,

Munakata: x-ray vision.

Yatate: tentacles.

Tentacles?

[knock on door]

Huh?

Dannoura,

I want to talk to you

about your traveling partner.

Okay

So what is it, huh?

Lord Okakushi.

[ominous music]

Just who are you?

A Death God

So there is no reason to

leave everything to you,

the "Taker of Souls," anymore.

[Yogiri] I know you can't say

much, but why did you come here?

[Seiichi laughs]

Up to this point,

even though I was told

to keep tabs on you

in the other world,

I was never allowed

to get close to you

or look you directly in the

eye when we were at school.

[flesh squelching]

[all gasp]

This is an eye that can

detect the supernatural.

However, I lost that

power when I got here.

[Yogiri] Is that all

you wanted to say?

I know you haven't unleashed

your ultimate power here yet.

Uh

[door opens, closes]

He really is a freak,

isn't he?

- Want this?

- Hell no, man!

[knock on door]

Takatou, can we talk?

Uh, sure.

[Ryouko]

I am truly very sorry!

Hey, you need to apologize too!

[Carol] Why? Why should I?

[angry grunt] The first gate

is opened, you idiot!

That means no matter

where we are,

he can k*ll us instantly

if we happen

to get on his bad side.

I wouldn't do that

for no reason.

But the way you phrased that

really kind of irritated me.

Oh no!

It's so funny to see

Ryouko freaking out

when she's normally so calm.

Okay, so I take it you two

know about me, don't you?

Yep, I'm from the agency,

and Ryouko, the Institute.

Fukai with the long hair

who just left your room,

is from the Cult.

We've been dispatched to

keep an eye on you, Takatou.

I thought I had

surveillance on me,

but I never imagined

there'd be three of you.

By the way, since it

was just the two of you

who came here together,

did you two do it yet?

What?! We didn't do

anything like that, geez!

Now that we've met each other,

tell me about what's going on.

[crow caws]

[Euphemia] I wonder what you're

doing now, Big Sister Theo.

[woman] I've been searching

for you forever.

[Euphemia gasps]

And you are the last.

I will become the heir to the

Origin Bloods with you gone.

[Euphemia gasps]

[Euphemia] Please stop!

[shouting]

[Euphemia gasps]

[power pops]

[Euphemia gasps]

[Euphemia] Are these

Mistress Lain's memories?

In other words, Miss Akino

uses her skill called "vow"

and the classmates

she uses them on

aren't allowed to

use their gifts anymore?

Yeah, that's about right.

And as long as they weren't

stopping time,

it wasn't a big deal.

But we weren't certain whether

or not x-ray vision

was being used.

I sure don't wanna

be in the same place

as a guy like that.

And Yazaki couldn't manage

to get us together.

So Miss Akino became

the new de facto leader.

If you break the vow,

do you die or something?

Bingo! Speaking of death,

why did you two meet

back up with us anyway?

I wanted to get a hold of

that Sion the Sage person.

I thought she

might know something

about how to get back home.

Oh, I guess that'd be

the normal thing to do.

Oh yeah. I thought that

we had no other choice

but to become a Sage here.

Say, you think we

could find a way home

with everyone else's help?

Probably not.

I think our only choice

now is a great achievement.

Or else it'll just be chaos.

For now then,

we can consider ourselves

on the same side, right?

What? I thought

we already were.

Ah. I will do

anything you need.

[light playful music]

[upbeat rock music]

[gentle music]

[Tomochika]

That doesn't look like it's

from a parallel world at all.

[Carol] It's almost

the exact same outfit

you wore at your concert.

But this has a decent

defense value.

What are you wearing?

I'm a ninja, of course.

[Tomochika] Where's the stealth?

You stand out like a sore thumb!

[Ryouko] I apologize.

[traditional Japanese music]

I hope you don't

take great offense

and think I'm here to goof off

by wearing a

stupid outfit like this.

My silly little outfit

probably makes it look like

I'm goofing off the most.

[Tomochika] How did

you get all these anyway?

Runa Harufuji, the dressmaker,

made all of these.

It's her specialty after all.

Look at you all fired up and

getting ready all on your own.

[Tomochika]

Oh, come on, you guys.

I don't look like this because

I want to either, you know?

Is that outfit because

of your class ability,

the Self-centered Blacksmith?

Uh, wait, are you

talking about me?

It's like a class full of people

only interested

in saving themselves.

That makes us seem so awful.

[Sora] I see the

guide has arrived.

Huh?

Good to see you again,

Miss Dannoura.

[Tomochika] Mr. Rick?!

[Yogiri] Why are you here,

Mr. David?

The royals have the

ability to seal things.

My power, for example,

can suppress a low-rank

demonic creature.

We also want to measure our

capabilities while down here.

Are you able to suppress

our power too?

Of course. If that's the case,

then perhaps I should guide you

to where the

demonic creatures are.

[Ryouko grunts]

[Carol grunts]

[monsters growl]

Looks like there

was no reason for me

to be down here with you all.

Mr. Rick, I didn't realize

you were the prince of

the Kingdom of Manii.

[Rick laughs]

Sorry, I didn't

tell you earlier.

Apologies for interrupting

your little chitchat here,

but are you ready to

go now, Miss Dannoura?

Yes, are you, Miss Akino?

Seems it'll be a cinch

with Carol and Miss Ninomiya,

so I may not even

need to fight at all.

[Tomochika] Do you think

that martial art attacks

will work on this thing?

[skeleton rattling]

Since it has a human form,

it should be fine.

Ah, right.

[Tomochika grunts]

[upbeat music]

- I need something heavy!

- You got it!

Now long!

[group gasps]

She's strong.

[creature snarls]

[Yogiri] Avoid the line

of murderous intent.

Put the end of the sword

along that line and wait.

The enemy will stab themselves.

I'll keep doing this.

And finish them off.

Wow, he's not too bad.

Well now, with

moves like those,

I wouldn't mind having you

in my battle formation.

How in the world do you do that?

You move like an amateur, but

easily avoid the enemy attacks

and still manage to hit them

and deal a fatal blow?!

What about my bug-k*lling power?

Want to see my gift?

I'm good.

[whimsical music]

[Hanakawa] No!

This isn't what I was

thinking about at all!

What's wrong with you?

Don't you like women?

You can't just

crossdress like that

and think everything is okay.

If you want to pretend

to be a femboy,

then you must start

from the ground up

with your personality!

[Lute sighs]

[Hanakawa groans]

What a huge crowd gathering.

I wonder if there's a festival.

[Hanakawa]

Ugh, you're like a bumpkin

that doesn't know a thing.

Hey, ever since you learned

you wouldn't be k*lled,

you've been getting

too carried away.

I can sense the

younger sister we seek

is somewhere under the ground

near where we are right now.

And since I don't know where the

entrance to the underworld is,

I suppose we'll gather

intel first.

In that case, good master,

ye old tavern

is the place one must go!

[Euphemia] At last,

I am Origin Blood's

[girl] Wait, hold on!

[horse galloping]

[horse neighs]

Calm yourself.

[girl panting]

Thank you!

That silly old horse won't

listen to a word I say.

[Euphemia gasps]

[regal music]

[girl gasps]

What?

My name is Euphemia,

young madam.

Hello, I'm um

Oh! You know, I don't

think I even have a name.

Hmm, what should I pick?

I'll think up something random.

[Euphemia] Is this

Risley!

My name will be Risley

from now on.

[Lute] So this is my

first time at a tavern.

How exactly are we

supposed to gather intel?

How about we eavesdrop on

the conversations around us?

For real?

You were so confident

when you said to come here

that I thought you would

have some sort of plan.

- Excuse me, miss.

- Hm?

Is there some sort

of festival today?

Why yes, there is.

[Hanakawa spurts]

Apparently, the Sage

candidates have already reached

the fifth level of the

underworld only a few days

after starting their conquest.

So everybody in town's

out celebrating.

Are you serious?!

[Lute chuckles]

Hm?!

[Lute] What's wrong?

[Hanakawa] It'd been bad

if those guys found us.

Can't we do

something about this?

Let me think here.

[Hanakawa groans]

[power shimmers]

I used a recognition blocker

so that they won't be

able to notice us in here.

[Hanakawa laughs]

If we won't be noticed,

then we can draw a bit closer.

[Ushio] What's that

Takatou loser's problem?

He just popped up halfway

through,

snatched up all the hot girls

we have, then freaking left.

I envy his game level

every single night.

Even though we've done

way more than that guy.

Why aren't we getting

all the attention?

Maybe because we're called

The Three Eroge Nobles.

Evening, you three are

all Sage candidates, right?

Oh, hey, maybe heroes

do get attention.

Sure do!

Yeah, what?

[warning beeping]

[all] Ayaka Shinohara?

I've caught you now.

[blow thuds]

Ushio!

Awesome, are we fighting?

Yeah, get him!

Stop it!

[customers shouting]

[Mitsuo screams]

Oh god, please stop beating him!

[Ayaka] Sorry,

but this is for revenge!

Ushio, hit her back!

Defend yourself!

[punches slam]

[Hanakawa groans]

[punches slam]

[Ayaka sighs]

[Ayaka] Now then, Munakata.

[Keiichi] Oh crap.

[Ayaka] From this point on,

I'm going to k*ll

one of you each day.

Enjoy shaking in your

boots while you still can.

Let everyone in the class know.

Can you do that for me at least?

[patrons scream, voices overlap]

I'm going to do that

until there's no one left.

[students scream]

That was Miss Ayaka.

From what I saw from

that display earlier,

she was pretty pissed off

being left behind as

dragon bait for her class.

Ah, but if that's the case,

that means I may also

be a target of hers.

[dramatic music]

[Sion] Did something happen?

[Hanakawa yelps]

What?

I guess my recognition

blocker isn't working.

Good evening.

You're Mr. Hanakawa,

isn't that right?

I am Sion the Sage, the one

that brought you to this land.

Do you remember me?

Yes, well, nice to see you.

I shall take my leave now.

[awkward chuckle]

[Sion] To where?

We are researching

the underworld.

So I thought we'd

leave this place

and visit another shop for

a little more idle gossip.

If that's what you want,

then I will tell you

all about it.

[Hanakawa groans]

Just give up on escaping.

Nothing good will come

if you keep on offending

her like that.

I would like to ask you

about your famous classmate,

Mr. Yogiri Takatou.

[Hanakawa groans, gulps]

[Sion] This is the first

I've heard of him

having the ability to

sense murderous intent.

[Lute] What will you do

with him once you have him?

I think immediately disposing

of him is the wisest course

to prevent trouble

in the future.

But I also think I could

make use of him in many ways.

I'll take care

of Yogiri Takatou.

I can't imagine what someone

like the Dark Lord's underling

can possibly do.

Come again?

If you intend to fight,

please do it in a place

where I won't get.

Ah, what's that hand doing?

You're no longer of any

use to me, Mr. Hanakawa.

So

I'm dead!

[cream sloshes]

What's the big idea?!

[Hanakawa groans]

Well, that's interesting.

My heat ray seems

to have transformed

into yummy whipped cream.

I beg you,

please wait a moment.

You told us that you'd tell us

more about the underworld,

didn't you?

Yes, I completely

forgot about that.

What exactly is it that

you would like to know?

Where might the entrance

to the underworld be?

[Sion] If you mean in this city,

then you can frequently

catch sight of the entrance.

In fact, try purchasing

a ticket from the tavern.

What's that mean, huh?

I may be swinging

at the hornet's nest,

but are you done with me now?

I took the time to tell

you about the underworld,

so if I k*lled you now,

that would be a complete waste.

That lady's bonafide crazy.

I have no idea what

she's thinking at all.

Wow, who could possibly

wanna see someone like me

just dripping in mounds

of luscious whipped cream?

[Tomochika] Hey, Takatou, what

is it you do during the day?

What? Not all that much.

Gaming, reading books.

Ugh, and I'm out there slaying

and slaughtering

magical creatures.

So how is the Underworld

invasion going?

We've reached the

edge of the fifth level.

So I guess we'll start

with the sixth tomorrow.

There's a Dark God

on the seventh level.

Do you think it'll be this easy?

At this rate, we're barely gonna

make the one month deadline.

Even if we do fail,

if that Sion person ends up

showing up, then it's okay.

And what about

those eroge idiots?

It seems that

Mr. Ushio was k*lled.

Mr. Munakata says

Miss Shinozaki did it.

And according to him,

she swore she would come

and k*ll us one by one

for revenge.

But I thought Miss Shinozaki

was dead, wasn't she?

Yeah, she was.

[wind blowing]

[Youichi] The sage

candidates have arrived

at the sixth level

of the Underworld.

It's only a matter of time

before they reach the seventh.

Since it's far

too easy for them,

let's throw a little

wrench in their plans.

Yes, but defeating the Dark God

should not be all

that simple on its own.

And what about Yogiri Takatou?

I haven't made up

my mind just yet.

[knock on door]

Who in the world is that?

Don't worry. It's just a

door-to-door transporter.

[Haruto] Please pardon

my intrusion.

You must be the Sage

candidate, Haruto Ootori.

How did you know

about this place?

I gave my problem-solving

skill a try.

Oh, of course.

Good for you.

But why are you in my room?

I'm afraid that

we need more time.

I'm asking you if we

can get an extension

on the time limit,

my beautiful liege.

The time limit is built

as a means to encourage you.

So as long as everyone

is giving their best,

I don't see any problem

with that at all.

I'm grateful, thanks.

[Sion] However, there's no fun

in extending the deadline

without any compensation for me.

[Haruto gasps]

So here's what I'm asking for.

Could you please get

rid of your classmate,

Mr. Yogiri Takatou, for me?

You want me to k*ll him?

[Sion laughs]

[Haruto laughs]
